Citizens Decided That One is
Wanted at Last Nights Mass
Meeting.
1t was decided last evening by the
citizens of st. Paul, assembled in mass
meeting at the chamber Of commerce,
that an ice palace and carnival would
be made the feature of this winter, al
though no time was fixed for the COM
mencement of the festivities. Repre-
sentative Edmund Rice presided and the
occasion was one of marked enthusiasm
in favor of the project and when sub
ScriDtiOnS to the stock were called for
those present Wed with each other II
their alacrity to sign the lists sub
mitted to them by the committee, con-
sisting of MessrS. Maxfield, Thompson
and Hanson. A pleasant incident OF
the evening was the reading of letter
from Gen. Sibley, addressed to PTeSi-
dent Maxfeld, of the Carnival aSSOcia-
ton, who stated that he felt hOnOred to
receive, on behalf of the association,
such communication from one of the
foremost citizens of Minnesota, and one
whose name was famous throughout the
civilized world. The letter was as fol-
lows:
II. H. "
MaXfield. ESQ.,. President. Dear Sir:
1t would afford me much pleasure to
attend the meeting this evening and
unite with our citizens in measures TO
promote the third ice carnival. as | am
fully satisfied that it will prove, as past
experience has demonstrated, of great
benefit to St. Paul.
Unfortunately for myself, am pre-
cluded from attendance upon evening
meetings by the infirmitieS incident to
advanced age. | trust there will be a
full and enthusiastic rally in favor of
the enterprise. Very sincerely yours,

WANT A CARNIVAL.
President MaXfield in brief speech
set forth the object of the meeting,
which he said was to decide whether or
not st. Paul would have a carnival this
winter and after that was settled to de-
wise ways and means to carry the affair
to a successful issue. In closing he in
vited suggestions from all present,
whereupOn Mr.. Stone moved lit is the
sense of this meeting that st. Paul have
n raI
Chairman Rice put the question and a
rising vote showed that the audience
was unanimously in favor of it and
active business was inaugurated.
John Summers was called upon
to give desired information on plan
for an ice palace, and submitted the
photograph of design, which was
passed from hand to hand and elected
very cOmmendatOry remarks. 1t was
conceived by Mr.. c. E. Joy land will un-
dOubtedly be adopted as the working
model of the new palace, and if the
original is anything ike the picture, st.
Paul may well be proud of the beautiful
building. 1t was explained that while
the palace would probably not be any
larger than the last one, that it would
be better arranged for lighting up, and
would consequently be seen to better
advantage at distance.
simultaneously with the announce
ment that subscription books were open
TOR stock, Albert Scheffer stated that the
enterprise was one that the city fathers
should be interested in. and he there
fore moved for the appointment of a
committee of five to wait upon the
council and request substantial encOur-
agement. This committee, which was
at once appointed by the chair, will con-
SiSt of MesSrS. Sanborn, Allen, Stone,
Peet and Stevens.
1t was suggested that the city should
vote $4,000 for the purpose, which
brought Mr.. Murray to his feet with the
announcement that the city treasury
had not that amount available.
Finally it was agreed that it should be
left discretionary with the council as to
the amount that it would vote, and when
the finance committee of the meeting
which will be selected to-day,was ready
to submit statement. Active canvass
ing was at once inaugurated for dOna-
lions and subscriptions to the stock of
the new association, resulting in the
raising of about $1,000.
